PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD 8-1 Ed Garnett, Atty. - Water & Sewer, Linwood Ext. Project Mr. Garnett said he had been asked to make a presentation regarding the residents of Princess Lane and area. There woo a proposal for water & sewer in Linwood Ext. There was one resident who objected. Council decided not to take action. He urged Council to put water & sewer in those streets in the coming year. There io a high ground water system. The area is growing, the buildings are residential. He has a petition of 31 names of owners that want water & sewer. Water is necessary, sewer is important also because of the danger of contaminated water. There is water 8 °4-. to 10 ft. down. If this is not the majority, it is a large percentage of the landowners. Councilman Wise asked if the residents would consider a 20: assessment district for water & sewer. Mr. Garnett replied he would discuss this with the residents and report to City Manager Brighton. He noted the City has poured much money into areas to develop when other areas have been ignored. Mayor Wagoner noted the current project is engineered, if the people want to have an assessment district they should move fast. It will have to be delayed for a year. I Q KENAI CITY COUNCIL MAY 2, 1984 Page 2 8-2 Bill Thompson - Use of Existing Float Plane Basin Mr. Thompson reviewed his letter in the packet. He would limit use to installing floats, etc. for aircraft operators only. They would have to have prior permission from Airport Manager Swalley. It will take permission from Council for use after airport Lower hours. It is discouraging to do business in the City and find out you cannot do plane floats without going to Soldotna or N. Kenai. A "wide permit" is needed to transport it on the highway. It would be at the risk of the users after hours. Councilwoman Bailie asked if they would be flying in and out. Mr. Thompson replied, it would just be transport to and from the airport. It will only be used for removal and installation of floats or for mechanical problems, not for parking. Mayor Wagoner suggested a work session on this item. , PUBLIC COMMENTS rr a. John Arsenault. He reviewed 4 letters regarding the float plane basins I , 1. Dec. 1975.

All activities are prohibited on the float plane basin. r 4. April 1979. The reservoir is not a landing area. It cannot be seen by the tower. Mr. Arsenault recommended not allowing any activity till it is controlled by Traffic Control. There is gravel back there. There fo no control over the water depth. If they have prior permission, the City is liable. Councilwoman Bailie said the float plane basin in Fairbanks is not visible from the tower. Mr. Thompson said it is visible from the tower, but there are 4 strips in the control zone plus 2 rivers and other areas that are used but not in view. They all call the tower and it is controlled. Mr. Arsenault said the areas in Fairbanks are not under air traffic control. They are not required to contact the tower.He added, if the float plane basin opens inside the fence, planes will come under control of the City. Outside of the fence is not controlled. Council agreed to a work session. B-3 Alex Shadurs - Civic League Dormant Account Mr. Shadura asked that the money received from the dormant Civic League account be used as a plaque to commemorate those in civic duty before Kenai became a city. He was the last president of the Civic League. They started the library and built the fire hall. The Historical Society, Civic League and City Municipality are 3 separate entities.

Land Manager Labahn explained, this is land proposed to be covered on value -for -value exchange with Homer Electric in Section 36. Councilman Wise said Council has never taken a position on this. Mayor Wagoner replied, Council gave Administration authority to proceed with negotiations. Councilman Wise said this was after an executive sesoion. The motion was to negotiate with HEA. The previous motion said it would be offered for sale at no more than 10: discount. To go beyond what is negotiated with HEA is inappropriate. No proposal has been presented to Council relative to HEA and there has been no report from Administration. Mayor Wagoner said if this is passed, it will constitute Council approval. City Manager Brighton said at one time Council voted to give credit of 10%, but at a work session Administration was directed to deal with HEA and FAA for a swap. Since then HEA has accepted the offer. Administration is finalizing with FAA on equal value. The only problem is, he suggested reversal clause on 10 acres so they could not move off and sell. They objected, saying REA would object. This has been worked out, should they abandon they will give the value of the real estate to the City.

MOTION$ Councilman Wise moved, seconded by Councilman Ackerly, to i incorporate in the 1984-1985 budget the 2 police positions I requested and divide the question. i ? Juvenile Officer. Councilman Wise asked Police Chief Ross to review the proposal. Chief Ross explained this ! was submitted in the budget to provide an increased level of service. The officer would work closer with the schools, juvenile matters, child h sexual abuse matters. Mr. Brighton has increased the overtime in the budget. We have 13 officers now. Of the 2 positions, he would rate the juvenile officer higher at this time, recent events show increased evidence of child abuse. He would like to have plain clothes men go to public events, but this is not necessary to maintenance of existing services. Councilman Measles asked if there was an officer doing juvenile work now. Chief Ross replied, only if they fall in that shift. Councilman Measles asked, if there was a juvenile ~'! officer, would this free other officers? Chief Rose replied, the juvenile officer would generate work in the investigative area. He estimated 50% of hie work would be investigative and free up 1/2 a patrol officer. The Communications Supervisor Nould free up 40% of an officer's time. Mayor Wagoner said in the schools, 50: are not residents of the City. A juvenile officer would be working with non-roaident students. Chief Ross agreed, but noted it would free an officer in the City. Crime is a community problem, not a police problem. Mayor Wagoner suggested, perhaps the State should provide part of the funding.
